Both goalkeepers have carried out routine saves in what is an evenly contested match thus far.

Larne believe they have the lead as Cian Bolger heads home Mark Randall's at the back post.

However, the celebrations are cut short as the assistant referee has his flag raised.

It's not entirely clear what the official has seen in that incident - it looked like a good header from the Larne skipper.

Unmarked Dean Curry rises highest to head home from Leo Alves' corner to open the scoring for the Swifts.

Loughgall defensive mishap almost lets Tomás Galvin help himself to a goal, but goalkeeper Nathan Gartside manages to take control in time and punt the ball clear from danger.

Daniel Lafferty picks himself up off the ground to take the free-kick after he himself had been fouled by Dean Jarvis.

His kick goes through the wall but is straight at Rory Brown who gathers easily.

Kieran Offord shows Jonny Addis a clean pair of heels down the right and is fouled at the byline. Addis is cautioned and, from the resulting free-kick Jordan Forsythe attempts an audacious overhead kick but catches Shea Kearney for a free out to the Reds.

Referee Shane Andrews reaches for his pocket for the first time, awarding a yellow card to Sam Roscoe for pulling Dylan Connolly to the ground.

From the resulting free-kick, Kodi Lyons-Foster can't quite direct his shot on target and pulls his left-footed strike wide of the far upright.

Coleraine left back Dean Jarvis the first player to be booked for a trip on Daniel Lafferty.

One area that Lewis Ridd has struggled with so far is distribution. On more than one occasion he has gifted the Crues possession or put his teammates under unnecessary pressure, but he has not been made to pay for it.

The bookings are now level with Jack Malone picking up a caution.

Jamie Glackin with a sight on goal as he evades the challenge of Stephen O'Donnell.

The midfielder tries to curl the ball into the goal with his left foot from just inside the penalty area but his effort goes the wrong side of the post.

A Glentoran corner is whipped into the box as Linfield head clear, before the ball falls to Dylan Connolly on the edge of the area who lets fly.

His shot is blocked by a blue shirt, with James Singleton blasting over the crossbar on the follow up.

The Glens have had three dangerous corners in the opening 20 minutes that have certainly caused unrest in the Blues defence.

Coleraine come close to opening the scoring.

Connor Murray does superbly well to control a long ball out of defence before slipping in Rhyss Campbell.

The winger strides forward into the penalty box before unleashing a shot which crosses off the underside of the crossbar.

Eamon Fyfe plays the ball back for Ryan Mayse, whose low strike is well wide.

Plenty of half chances but either stopper has had a save to make so far.

Dungannon with a free-kick close to the corner flag and Steven Scott seems to catch everyone out when he takes it short to Leo Alves, whose low shot is well saved by Nathan Gartside and put behind for a corner that comes to nothing.

Jordan Stewart with a beautiful bit of skill to beat Shea Kearney down the left touchline, but he can't pick out a teammate in the middle.

The ball drops to Harry Jewitt-White and his strike takes a touch to take the sting out of it and makes it an easy save from Lewis Ridd.

Ridd has had a fairly comfortable opening to this one.

Jamie Glackin swings the corner towards the near post but Matthew Shevlin doesn't get enough on his header.

Gary Thompson is cautioned for a foul on Jack Malone.

It's been a feisty start to this game so it's unsurprising that Lee Tavinder has had to get his book out this early on.
